WVMT's easily identifiable three-tower array is shown on Lake Champlain navigation charts, located in Colchester, near Malletts Bay.

[4] Weekdays begin with a local news and information show, The Morning Drive, hosted by Kurt Wright and Anthony Neary.

[8] In its early years, WCAX largely operated on an experimental basis,[9] and it was not until October 10, 1924, that the station formally signed on.

[16] By 1931, the University of Vermont did not have the funds to continue its operation of WCAX, largely due to the need to purchase newer equipment required by the Federal Radio Commission.

[9][17] At that time, the newspaper was controlled by Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson, the first person to drive across the country in a motor car.

[11] WCAX carried CBS dramas, comedies, news, sports, game shows, soap operas and big band broadcasts during the "Golden Age of Radio".

In 1963, Hasbrook sold WCAX to James Broadcasting, a company controlled by Simon Goldman, that also owned WJTN in Jamestown, New York.

[22] (The previous call letters remain on WCAX-TV, which, until 2017; was owned by the family of Hasbrook's stepson, Stuart T. Martin Jr.)[20] From the 1960s through the 1980s, WVMT had a middle-of-the-road music format.

[26] WVMT gained an FM sister station in 1990, when James Broadcasting purchased top 40 outlet 95.5 WXXX from Atlantic Ventures.
